Thank you so so much for all the support,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does Philippine beauty maintain her amazing body? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.
1. She Swims
Nicole loves to make a splash in the pool. “Who says we have to grow up?” she captioned a video of herself and a friend, doing exercises and dancing in the pool. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.
2. She Runs
Nicole recently competed in a 21k. To prepare she spent a lot of time running on the treadmill. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.
3. She Snorkels
Nicole also loves to snorkel. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water a la Nicole is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.
4. She Does Yoga
Nicole is a yogi. She recently shared a “practice the pause,” photo with her followers, spending International Women’s day with “empowered” women doing yoga and meditation to “recharge.” There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”
5. She Stretches
“Did you know that if we DON’T MOVE, we can actually LOSE our ability to?” Nicole captioned a recent post, highlighting the benefits of stretching and massage. “When fascia is healthy, it is flexible and allows for fluid movement. However, when fascia becomes tight and restricted, it can cause pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion,” she wrote. “There are many ways to improve fascia health, including stretching, massage, and fascial maneuvers. Fascial maneuvers are a type of manual therapy that can help to release tension and improve the function of the fascia. You can learn DO IT YOURSELF!!”
